# Email delivery settings Source: https://neondeerdata.com/docs/api/email-notifications/settings/ Read and change permitted delivery settings, or pause and resume alerts. The APIs on this page require alpha access for your organization. App availability and API access are separate. [Check access and permissions](https://neondeerdata.com/docs/api/permissions/). ## Get email notification settings ```http GET /v1/email-alerts/settings ``` Gets whether email alerts are on, the subject prefix, whether a BCC copy is sent, the delivery limits, how long an alert waits before it is discarded, the values each limit may be set to, and the settings' version. The BCC address is shown only in Neon Deer. Requires `email_notifications:config:read`. The connection also needs access to the relevant tables, objects, or workflows. MCP action: `get_email_notification_settings`. Its argument names match the fields below; an HTTP header is passed using its argument name in MCP. No request parameters are needed. ### Response | HTTP status | Result | | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `200` | The requested result. Asynchronous work returns an operation to poll. | Required fields are required within their containing object. Notes identify fields that apply only to a particular response alternative. | Response field | Type | Required in object | Notes | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------ | ------------------ | ----- | | `data` | object | Yes | | | `data.object` | `"email_alert_settings"` | Yes | | | `data.version` | integer | Yes | | | `data.paused` | boolean | Yes | | | `data.sending_included` | boolean | Yes | | | `data.subject_prefix` | string | Yes | | | `data.per_recipient_hour` | integer | Yes | | | `data.per_recipient_minute` | integer | Yes | | | `data.per_hour` | integer | Yes | | | `data.discard_after_minutes` | integer | Yes | | | `data.choices` | object | Yes | | | `data.choices.per_recipient_hour` | array of integer | Yes | | | `data.choices.per_recipient_minute` | array of integer | Yes | | | `data.choices.per_hour` | array of integer | Yes | | | `data.choices.discard_after_minutes` | array of integer | Yes | | | `data.bcc_configured` | boolean | Yes | | ### Errors | HTTP status | Meaning | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `400` | One of: credential_in_url, invalid_parameter, unknown_parameter. | | `401` | One of: missing_credential, invalid_credential, credential_expired, credential_revoked. | | `402` | One of: payment_overdue. | | `403` | The current permissions, plan or policy do not allow this request. | | `404` | One of: not_found. | | `409` | The request conflicts with current resource state, authorization or an earlier request.

Settings you leave out stay as they are. The BCC address is never returned. The values replaced are not kept. This can't be undone. Requires `email_notifications:config:write`. The connection also needs access to the relevant tables, objects, or workflows. MCP action: `update_email_notification_settings`. Its argument names match the fields below; an HTTP header is passed using its argument name in MCP. ### Parameters | Name | Send in | Required | Type or allowed values | Notes | | ----------------------- | --------- | -------- | ---------------------- | ----- | | `expected_version` | JSON body | Yes | integer | | | `subject_prefix` | JSON body | No | string | | | `bcc` | JSON body | No | string (email) or null | | | `per_recipient_hour` | JSON body | No | integer | | | `per_recipient_minute` | JSON body | No | integer | | | `per_hour` | JSON body | No | integer | | | `discard_after_minutes` | JSON body | No | integer | | ### Response | HTTP status | Result | | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `200` | The requested result.

New alerts requested by workflows while alerts are off are refused rather than queued. Alerts already waiting remain queued and can send after alerts resume, unless canceled or expired. A message already being sent cannot be recalled. Requires `email_notifications:config:write`. The connection also needs access to the relevant tables, objects, or workflows.
